Where is the transplanted kidney fixed in the body of a kidney failure patient ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1) Kidney transplantation involves placing a healthy kidney into the body where it can perform all of the functions that a failing kidney cannot.
2) The new kidney is placed on the lower right or left side of the abdomen where it is surgically connected to nearby blood vessels.
3) Placing the kidney in this position allows it to be easily connected to blood vessels and the bladder.
4) The vein and the artery of the new kidney are attached to the body's vein and artery.
5) The new kidney's ureter is attached to the body's bladder to allow urine to pass out of the body.
